Patrick's statement is incorrect.

Explanation:

Crackers come in package of = 24

Cheese slices come in package of = 18

As given, Andy wants one cheese slice for each cracker so we will find the least common multiple of 24 and 18.

The L.C.M is 72.

So, Andy needs 72 crackers and 72 cheese slices.

Number of cracker packages needed=\frac{72}{24}=3

Number of cheese slice packages needed=\frac{72}{18}=4

Hence, Patrick's statement is incorrect. Andy needs 3 packages of crackers and 4 packages of cheese slices to make them even.

Answer:

$26

Step-by-step explanation:

In the picture attached, the table, the plot and the line of best fit are shown. There we can see the next equation:

y = 0.177x + 25.936

where x is the total dollar amount of her customers’ bills and then y is her total daily wages.

This means that even if she serves no customers (x = 0) she will earn $26  ($25.936 rounded to the nearest dollar)  for each day of work.

NISA [10]
<span>The answer is: the least amount is 105.35 and the greatest amount is 105.44. If the number after the one you want to round is 5 or bigger, you need to round up the number. For instance, 105.35 is rounded to 105.4 which is equal to 105.40. If the number after the one you want to round is smaller than 5, you need to round down the number. For instance, 105.44 is rounded to 105.4 which is equal to 105.40.</span>

Part of a book fell out. The first page of this part has number 143. The last page has a number written with the same digits. Ho
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

142 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

The parameters given are

First page of part of the book available = 143

The last is numbered with the digits 143

Since the book is said to have been split into two parts with, we have that one part of the book starts from the beginning, while the other part continue from the first part stops

Number on the pages on the first part = from 1 to number on the first page on the second part - 1

Hence, the part of the book available is the second part and the number of pages in the first part = 1 to 142 or 142 pages.

postnew [5]

Answer:

15000 - 750x

Step-by-step explanation:

Holly is trying to save $25, 000 to put a down payment on a condominium. She started with $10,000 and saved an additional $750 each month.

Let

y = dollars

x = number of months

Since she started her savings with $10, 000 her remaining amount to pay will be 25000 - 10000 = $15000 .

The amount will also be reducing by $750 per month

Therefore,

How far she is from her goal can be represented with the equation

15000 - 750x
